worker, a loyal supporter, an able editor — as such wc thank

A MISTAKE
To the Editor:
I notice that in the recent elections for cheer leader that a
sophomore was elected over a senior. In most colleges while
the merits of underclassmen are appreciated and used, seniors
are usually accorded positions. I have the highest regard for
the new cheer leader and his ability, but I fcl that this college
should not depart from the tradition so radically. A sophomore
always has tin; time and the chance to be given office, while a
senior has but a few months in which wc can repay him for his
contribution to college life. I therefore suggest that this matter
be considered in the future at all similar elections.

My dear Mr. Heason:
•'-, I gladly give through you a Thanksgi
message to the
students of the college.
Our first thought at the mention of Thanksgiving Day for 1917
is that we have more cause to pray for help than to offer up
prayers of gratitude for blessings now enjoyed. This is a superficial thought. Wc have cause for gratitude even in this year of
trial and sacrifice. The day appointed for national thanksgiving
should be the occasion for an inventory of the good things that
have come to our land and people. We have discovered that the
bonds of national unity are even now strong among our polyglot
citizens, and we may be deeply grateful that our dedication to
national service will strenthen this bond; we have had Avidespread
joy in making material sacrifices for our common country. We
have quickened our moral sense and stimulated our social consciousness in thinking and planning the social purity of our
troops in arms. We have been able to relieve Belgium, Serbia,
Armenia and France out of our abundant harvests; we have acquired a keener sense of duty to country, duty the cause of right,
duty to the interests of humanity. These and other experiences
of >the year are a rich 'blessing to the American people for which
we are appropriately grateful.

TEACHERS' ASSO. WITH
SPEAKERS
APPEAL TO STUDENTS
AS CANDY-EATERS
AND
CANDYMAKERS
The 72c! annual convention of
the New York State Teachers'
Association will he held in Syracuse November 26-28 inclusive.
There will he three general sessions besides the meetings of
twenty-three auxiliary bodies.
This association is of particular interest to State College students because of its relation ro
the problems of teachers and because of the part Dr. Brubacher
has had in determining its recent
policy. Until 1913 the meetings
were inteikled primarly to bring
educators together for discussion of educational matters and
to renew acquaintances; In this
year Dr. Brubacher, then superintendent of schools at Schenectady, was elected president, lie
set out to make the association
an active factor in the betterment of teaching and the
teachers' condition in this State.
For this purpose the entire organization was changed. Local
county associations were formed,
each sending delegates to the
central convention while the central convention, through its executive and legislative committees, worked for such progressive measures as "Teachers' Pensions," "A Code of Ethics,"
" Improve Sanitary Conditions,"
etc.
As a result of his active policy
of reform Dr. Brubacher was
prevailed upon lo accept the
presidency a second time that his
work might not be interrupted.
The result is seen in the Teachers' Pension Law and the present
smooth working of the association.
This year Stale College sends
the following faculty members
to be in attendance and share in
the program:
President Brubacher will attend a meeting of the Executive
Committee Monday afternoon ,ii
the Hotel Onondaga. On Tuesday afternoon he will attend the
meeting of the Legislative Committee.
Professor R. II. Kirtland will
speak on " Practical Methods of
Conducting High School Dramatics," Tuesday morning.
• Professor G. M. York will
speak on " The Training of Commercial Teachers " on Tuesday
morning.
Miss' Charlotte Loeb will discuss " Modern Language Workin Junior High Schools," Wednesday morning.
Professor I fale is president of
the State Science Teachers'
Association, and will preside at
the meetings held Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. He
will give the president's address.
The approach of the holiday
season generally means a greater
demand for candies of all kinds
and therefore an increased supply of them. Owing to the scarcity of granulated sugar, and to
the necessity for conserving it
as much as possible to prevent a
sugar famine in the country,
food conservation workers ask
and urge the cooperation of
everyone in carrying out the following suggestions.
The reason that this is- being
asked is this: Before the war,
Prance, Italy and Belgium produced as much sugar as they
used, while England drew most
of her supply from what are now
enemy countries. Now France
and Italy are producing less than
they need, while. England is cut
off from the source of scvent}'
per cent of her usual imports.
These three allied countries must
now draw two million pounds
more of sugar than they did before the war from the same
sources from which we draw our
supply. We must divide with
them. We can do it by economizing. The usual American
consumption per person is just
double that of France.
With these facts in mind, it
behooves us all to mould our
conduct accordingly. Let us,
first, create a demand for and
purchase only candies made
without the use of granulated
sugar. Let us in making candies
ourselves, use brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, corn syrup,
honey, etc., as substitutes for
white sugar. Let us cooperate
with manufacturers to make this
movement a success.
This appeal may be personally
applied in a variety of ways.
Cannot popcorn, nuts and fruit
be used in partial substitution for
candies? Cannot calces be
frosted in moderate proportions
— or, better still, not at all?
Cannot honey, maple syrup and
dark syrups for hot cakes and
waffles be used without butter
or sugar? Cannot YOU use less
sugar in the tea and coffee?
Think it over.
It is not necessary to go without candies. It IS necessary to
do some straight thinking before
satisfying the demands of one's
sweet tooth. Regard it as a
privilege rather than a privation
that you, as a patriotic, student
of the times, may supply your
wants and those of your friends
without retarding the efforts of
your country to feed itself and
its allies.
Besides — here's a chance for
you to be original. Send War
Candy to your friends with an
explanatory note, instead of the
customary granulated sugar products. Try making honey and

nut bars with one cup iuits or
cocoantit, two cups raisins, onefourth cup honey; grind nuts
and raisins in a food chopper,
mix with honey, pack under a
weight for a day, then cut into
bars. Or make one of the many
Karo candies, such as this one:
One cup brown sugar, one cup
Karo corn syrup, two tablespoons melted butter, one tablespoon lemon juice, cook all together without stirring till brittle
when tested in cold water; pour
into buttered pans till cool
enough to pull.
With these suggestions, face
your conscience. The result remains with you.
FORMER S. T. C. MAN
RAPS "CROOKED

Ex-Senator Ralph W. Thomas
Gives Stirring Patriotic
Address
One of the finest addresses
ever listened to by State College
students was given last Friday
morning in student assembly by
the Hon', Ralph W. Thomas, of
Ithaca.
In introducing the
speaker, President Brubacher
said that he is an ex-senator, excollege professor and is at present a member of the New YorkState Tax Commission.
Iii his opening remarks Mr.
Thomas said that he felt at home
•in State College, having been a
student here when it was the old
Normal on Willett street. He
paid a glowing tribute to our
former president, William J.
Milne, in the following paraphrase, " Given a room and two
chairs, a student in one and William J. Milne in the other, and
you have a college for teachers.'''
The speaker pointed out an
Athenian traditional oath which
was taken by every young man
when reaching manhood, one
sentence of which is especially
significant for Americans to-day,
" I will not leave my country less,
but more, and belter, than I
found it." The sentiment is
active, not passive. Each individual must DO something.
American patriotism lacks this
element. We are a well-meaning,
patriotic people, but we are drifting, subject to the gusts, as is the
brown October leaf. Everyone
who takes that oath has a patriotic duty to perform and a sacrifice to make. America should
bring out this classic patriotism.
It is impossible to name all the
things which constitute this.
There is one element which it is
the duty of every State College
student as a future teacher to
consider, namely, straight thinking, the intellectual power to see
a goal and the determination to
go there. This is the only
patriotism worth while,

Truth as a principle is clearly
differentiated from error by Wallace in " Ben ilur," where he
says lhat truth is a straight line,
always straight, and error is like
a circle, ever round,
"An old fault in education,"
said Mr, Thomas, "is in not
teaching pupils to think straight.
Pupils can demonstrate a geometric problem from proposition
to conclusion correctly, yet cannot arrive at a correct conclusion
concerning life."
Several examples of the
American failure
to think
straight was cited. In one case,
the speaker heard a young, apparently well-educated man reason that if $^3,500,000 were put
aside yearly by the working class,
it would not be long before there
would be no money in circulation. He further called attention
to an agitation urging that the
U. S. government issue enough
greenbacks to make every man a
millionaire. The fault with the
I. W. W.'s is that they think
crooked, putting their salaries
first. They need to learn to
think first things first.
Another example of inability
to think straight and to see that
wrong and right exist, and that
wrong should be righted, is seen
in the pacifist of to-day. A
pacifist may not be a soapbox
orator. Anyone who wants to
conclude a German peace, who
wants to bring a renewal of the
cataclysm of to-day a century
hence, is a pacifist. The woman
who wrote in the Century Mapasinc for October, " What has
this loathesome war to do with
us ? What is this wickedness
to you and me?" speaks the
thoughts of
every
pacifist
When we remember Edith Caval, murdered through German
planning, is not such a pacifistic
thought impossible?
Recently Italy lost in three
days what she has struggled for
two years to keep, all because of
weak, crooked thinking. It is
true that such thinking is not prevalent to an alarming degree, but
it is too common. While such a
condition exists, every American
teacher has a mission. We are
glad that the classic patriotism is
dominant. Let us help to keep it
dominant! It is our duty to
overcome the psychological barrier which is felt by every
American soldier. It is only a
little which we can do for those
who have gone to give their
lives', perhaps, for God and truth.
In a closing address to the
studeintbody Mr. Thomas said,
" Teachers, go forth and try to
overcome the tendency for
crooked thinking, and to lead to
straight thinking. Everyone can
do his bit to turn our future
Americans who will think
straight, Let us take this oath,
' God helping us, we will not
leave our country less, but more
and better than we fauud i t "

Continued from Page 1.
Joseph Walker '18 acted as
student representative and said
in part:
" It is entirely fitting and
proper that this great hour
should call forth from our studentbody an expression of appreciation, devotion and loyalty to
our brothers, whose names have
been here honored this morning.
The task, however, of expressing
what we all feel — what I know
we all feel —is not an easy one.
We know that these men have
stepped from our very sides
into the whirling maelstrom of
carnage and death, that has been
gradually drawing to itself
more than half of the peoples of
the earth. Out of an atmosphere
of culture, refinement and intellectuality, they have gone to
suffer and to die, perhaps, that
we, who remain, may continue to
enjoy the heritage of freedom
that has been left to us. They
have gone — we remain to watch
and wait for the call, the call
that eventually must come, to
make some sort-of contribution
to the cause from which they
have withheld not even their
lives.

" We are devoted to them because they represent our answer, the answer of this institution, to the challenge of frightfulness, that has been thrown
into the face of civilization.
We are devoted to them because
they represent real Americanism,
the old love of justice, the traditional sympathy of America
for the oppressed. We are devoted to them because they did
not fail to recognize their responsibility and duty, as American citizens, to take a part in this
' loathsome ' war. They did not
stand back and ask ' What has it
all to do with us?'
"And finally, to those who have
not sought or who have not been
selected to fill a place in the nation's service, bear in mind, that
there is small chance that ultimately the opportunity will not
lie given us. And while we wait
for that opportunity, let us keep
ever in mind the need of intense
loyalty to the nation and to those
who are maintaining its honor
and integrity. Great as are the
sorrows that this war must
necessarily bring, we must never
allow ourselves to question the
justice of America's cause or the
need of forcing the war to a
victorious conclusion. Back up

our faith in these boys whom wc
have to-day joined in honoring,
with a greater faith that in the
eternal fitness of things this war
can have but one end, an end that
shall, through a new era of national honor and righteousness,
heal the scars of this struggle,
silence all hymns of racial
hatred, and make of the world a
brighter, happier place to live
in."
Dr. Harold Thompson lead in
singing " America, the Beautiful," after which the faculty and
students marched to the main
entrance of the college for the
unfurling of the flag. . Dr.
Richardson offered the following impressive prayer:
O Almighty God, Who art a
most strong tower to all those
who put their trust in Thee: Be
now and evermore our defense;
direct and prosper the cause of
our Country and of our Allies.
Give wisdom to pur leaders and
to theirs that they may both
perceive and know what things
they ought to do and also may
have courage and power faithfully to perform the same. Take
under Thy protection
our
soldiers and sailors, and all
those, who in any sphere of
action, are working together with
them, Bless the chaplains and
those who minister in holy
things; inspire with skill and
tenderness the doctors and
nurses and help all those who do
service lo the troops on land or
sea.
And especially do we commend to Thy gracious care our
biothers, students of this College, in commemoration of whom
we now raise this Service Flag.
May their example of devotion
to duty inspire us and lead us to
endure all hardships and perils
in the holy cause which we and
our Allies arc pledged to maintain, and grant that this Emblem
may make us mindful of the
high resolve which wc and they
have taken, to labor for the
relief of the oppressed and for
the blessings of Liberty, Justice
and Honor among all men.
Let Thy glorious majesty, . 0
Lord, be upon us. Prosper Thou
the work of our hands upon us.
O prosper Thou our handiwork.
Amen,
Amid profound silence the
flag was unfurled and thrown
to the breeze, and as it straightened out its folds, thus bringing
its stars into view, all joined
with one accord in singing
" .America,"
